Dear Editor,
Thank you for "
The Right Man for the Job" article [News, Nov. 21] and for sharing information on the Transgender Day of Remembrance. I help transgendering people realize their preferred phenotype with hormone therapy. In Texas, this can be a difficult service to find. Portland's
Willamette Week (akin to our
Chronicle) featured a story in August about Oregon insurance companies being forced to pay for doctors' visits and hormones. In January, it may come to pass that insurance companies will cover some surgeries. Imagine being trapped in the body of the opposite gender. How delightful to live in this era of emergence.
